Anglesey Abbey

Anglesey Abbey is the creation of the immensely wealthy Huttleston Broughton, the 1st Lord Fairhaven, whose father had made a fortune in mining and railways in the United States. Originally a 13th-century Augustinian priory, it was first converted into a manor house in c. 1600 and then extensively remodelled and extended between 1926-58 by Sydney Parvin and Albert Richardson. Inside, this elegant yet comfortable Jacobean style home contains a mixture of medieval vaulting, low, beamed rooms and airy, light spaces. Many decorative features were reproduced or brought in from other buildings, including early 17th-century panelling and a 16th-century strapwork chimneypiece. Lord Fairhaven also devised the 100-acre garden which blends formal and more naturalistic landscape styles.

This collection has 11,062 items online

Anglesey Abbey contains rich collections of furniture, silver, paintings, porcelain, tapestries and statuary, all assembled by the immensely wealthy Lord Fairhaven. Buying at a time when many country houses were being demolished and their collections dispersed at auction, Lord Fairhaven was able to amass his extensive collection. There is a set of Tudor royal portraits, including the earliest known likeness of Henry VIII; works by Claude Lorrain, Gainsborough, William Etty; late 18th- and early 19th-century English and French clocks; early (17th-century) and modern bronzes; and a collection of early colour-plate books, 1770-1820.
